MLA & APA Citation Guides: MLA Citation Examples

We’ve designed this guide to explain: • What citations are • How you use them in your written assignments • Why it’s important to use them • How they are formatted

Below are two charts containing MLA citations formatted with hanging indents: one for the online  (as in articles from Galileo and professional Websites on the Internet, and the other for the printed kind (as in books and journals printed on paper).  If you don't see an example that suits your source, ask a librarian for help.

Just beneath, there are three links to handouts for you to download/print: first is a PDF handout of the citation examples displayed below;  second is a PDF that reviews the steps for setting up a hanging indent to help you format your Works Cited page; third is a document that is preformatted in MLA style  as a Word file  so that you can use it as the basis of your own research paper.
